Seattle's Union Gospel Mission

To serve, rescue and transform those in greatest need through the grace of Jesus Christ. In April of 1932, local businessmen and clergy met to address the needs of homeless people in Seattle who were hit hard by the Great Depression. On August 21, 1932, the Mission opened its doors in downtown Seattle to feed and care for hurting and homeless people. The doors have remained open ever since responding to the needs of our community.

The Mission provides food and shelter 365 days a year. In addition to providing emergency services, the Mission also offers recovery programs, counseling, transitional housing, education and job training, dental services and legal services. The Mission's programs and variety of services are designed to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of each individual served.
